Would The Widow I'm Dating Lose Either Of The Pensions She Receives If We Get Married?
Am dating a widow, female at age 67 and she recieves her late husbands pension from where he worked and his social security. Does she lose either of those if we got married. I still work and my socoal security is higher than hers, I am 69.
Hi,
I have no idea what rules apply to the employer pension this lady is receiving, but getting married to you would have no effect on her Social Security widow's benefits. Marriages that occur after a person reaches age 60 have no bearing on their eligibility for Social Security widow(er) benefits (https://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/handbook/handbook.04/handbook-0406.html).
Best, Jerry
